“While enjoying with him, I gradually became exhausted from the experience of intense sexual pleasure. All my limbs became languid and my vine-like body was incapacitated by the vigorous exertion of making love. I finally fell lifeless and inert. Kṛṣṇa’s slightly open lotus eyes were soaked in the mellows of Cupid and incomparable erotic transformations played incessantly within his mind. O sakhi, unite me with my dearest Shri Kṛṣṇa at once.” |
